SIMILARITY MEASURES FOR FERMATEAN FUZZY SETS AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN GROUP DECISION-MAKING


Combining satellite geophysical data with continuous on-site measurements for monitoring the dynamic parameters of civil structures

Abstract One key issue in the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of buildings is the influence of the soil on the dynamics of the system.The lack of accurate information on soil-structure interaction represents a source of significant uncertainty and generates difficulties in assessing the state of structural health.In this respect, satellite data
